The award was presented by the Credit Union National Association (CUNA) Marketing & Business Development Council, a national network comprised of over 1,200 credit union marketing and business development professionals. Awards are given in each of 30 categories ranging from advertising to community events and beyond.

The Minnesota Credit Union Network won the logo design category for the WINcentive Savings Logo. WINcentive Savings is a prize-linked savings account that offers members the chance to win cash prizes from a state-wide drawing pool, with chances to win monthly prizes of $100, quarterly prizes of $1,000, and an annual prize of $5,000.

“The Diamond Awards competition represents the pinnacle of credit union marketing and business development,” said Andy Reed, Chair of the CUNA Marketing & Business Development Council, and President and CEO, Texas People FCU. “Honoring credit unions in 30 categories, ranging from brand awareness to website, social media to mobile marketing, credit unions and individuals that receive these awards represent the very best of the best in their profession.”

“The goal of WINcentive Savings is to foster a regular habit of savings among credit union members by making saving fun and rewarding,” said MnCUN Director of Communications Andrea Molnau. “We believe that the WINcentive logo portrays this message and are thankful to the CUNA Marketing & Business Development Council for this recognition.”

Award winners were recognized at the council’s 23rd annual conference held March 20-23 in Anaheim, California. For more information on the Diamond Awards or to view the entire list of winners, go to www.cunacouncils.org/awards.
